We used to allow lawsuits against vaccine makers, then strangely enough, nobody wanted to make vaccines. To encourage vaccine production, we provide them civil immunity in cases of non-negligence with a government administered fund that pays out money to people harmed by vaccines.

They could be paid more for each dose instead of given a legal exception.

They basically pay a tax on each dose to cover the cost of the NVICP.
